Chicken for School Lunches Needs Parent’s Attention

Posted by Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin on December 30, 2009

I have read many articles about the sources and quality of the food that our children are served at our schools, or at least the vast majority. ?Although there is a growing movement of farm to school programs all across the country, the food industry is still using unfair competition to push out of the system small farmers that deliver top quality products, are competitive, support the local economy and are a far better and healthier choice as a source of food for schools. Food Democracy Now is a grassroots coalition working to make food systems more transparent and has posted some interesting facts and actions to take regarding these issues.

Why is the USDA paying Big Meat to feed our school children chicken that KFC won’t buy?

And here is a direct action you can take to respond to this, but hurry, the public comment deadline is tomorrow:

End the corporate stranglehold on our food and America’s farmers.
